While
part of the city is getting ready to welcome the Metro Rail, another
could soon offer commuters travel by an elevated Light Rail Transit
(LRT) system to beat the traffic on the roads. The government has
decided to opt for the LRT on the 40 km stretch from Hebbal to JP Nagar
and from Peripheral Ring Road to the toll gate on Magadi Road, based on a
study conducted by Capita Symonds, a UK based property and
infrastructure consultancy firm, hired by the Infrastructure Development
Department to help it make up its mind between a monorail and light
rail on this route.
CTTP 2007 had recommended either a monorail or an LRT system for four corridors spread over 60 kms. Two corridors stretching over 20 km will be covered by Metro Rail Phase II and the remaining 40 km, from Hebbal to JP Nagar and from Peripheral Ring Road to Toll Gate on Magadi Road, will be served by the Light Rail Transit system. The state government is currently working on the Option Report to finalise the technical details of the LRT project. This will be followed this up with a detailed project report (DPR) that will be given to Capita Symonds to prepare.
